This week marked the end of our electronic fast. We celebrated this with a commissioning ceremony. All the Atlanta team and alum interns wrote a team covenant. The whole ceremony was a beautiful and spiritually uplifting time. I have never been part of writing a covenant, it is hard to explain how amazing it is to share our team aspirations on paper and through words. All the teams shared their covenants aloud with the other teams during this time you could just feel the spirit of God moving. We were also given the opportunity to take part in communion together, and it was so uplifting. Just bringing back to my mind that Jesus died and shed his blood for me! The best part is the story doesn't stop their, but he rose again from the grave defeating death! O' how great is our God! I am very thankful for the family that I was able to covenant with, and the beautiful ideals that we have committed ourselves to following.
We were also able to take part in a community parade and block party this week called the festival of lights. After walking with the kids in the S.A.Y Yes! program during the parade, which was a ton of fun. I was able to enjoy spending some time with them while they got to eat free popcorn, cotton candy, and sno cones! The kids also got to enjoy a moon bounce. There was great entertainment, mostly talent from the community! It was really encouraging to see the community come together and celebrate all the beautiful things going on within English Ave. I'm thank God everyday for bringing me to Atlanta and specifically English Ave.
Thanks for your continual support and prayers. May grace and peace fall upon you!
In Christ,
Adam
